    yet again, you do not read my posts Q1 & Q2 2009 and Q1 2008. As for your posts I think Quadra 610 did that enough justice.



    read my words slowly there are 3 links:

    1. 2009 Q1

    2. 2009Q2

    3. 2008 Q1

    3. i can play games... enough said there

    4. nothings ever apples fault, its always users fault. Data deletion? your fault. your battery in your iphone is blowing up? your fault. we're also going to pay you to shut up and if you talk we'll sue you.

    5. they might be good for not getting viruses but that will soon change IF mac get a bigger market share.

    6. psystar is doing the right thing by taking apple to court. APPLE IS A BIGGER MONOPOLY THEN MS!!!!! everything has to be theirs or they will cry about it. go psystar, take apple down!!



    like i said before, IF macs get bigger there are going to be alot more problems. yea ill give apple the win for the iphone, it has made the number of touch phone jump in number. but my palm pre is better then anything the iphone can do. i back up extremeskater. tell me, what can you do on a mac that you cant do on a pc anymore?

    1) Not have to run virus and spyware apps.

    2) Do the same task in less steps, thus saving time.

    3) Get faster start ups, shutdowns, application start ups for the same HW.

    4) Get more battery use of a single charge doing the same tasks due to better PM.



    Those a few of the things OS X has over Windows and will continue to have due to disparate business models. That doesn't mean a Mac is for you, and I don't think anyone here expects everyone to have a Mac, but don't slander it just because you can't afford one or don't it it's demographic. One size does not fit all!

    iPods still #1.



    You don't have to lead in sales to be incredibly, ridiculously successful (just own your segment of the market.)



    Apparently, sales leads don't have a lot to do with actual success (growth, profit, etc) - witness MS' last two quarters.



    Vista outsold OS X by leaps and bounds. But universal licensing, ignorance and inertia will do that. The also-ran box assemblers, HP, Dell, etc., all outsold Apple . . . but it's all about growth and profit - Apple leads the industry in this area, and has been outpacing the industry for years. And of course, being #1 in customer satisfaction year after year after year, feeds into that.



    Your trolling is weak. What's even worse is that you're a Windows troll camping an Apple fansite . . . unsuccessfully.





    You keep holding onto this premium market fantasy. Lets see how that hold up with Windows 7 sales are out. Snow Leopard has sold about 5 million copies while Windows 7 is on track for 40 million in 2009 and at total of 117 million in 2010. Even at a price of 29.00 Snow Leopard is going to get spanked. Apple might think about giviing their OS away next.



    If you want to talk about profit.



    When looking at fortune 500 Microsoft has 60420.0 (revenue in millions) and 17681.0 profit in millions and is ranked 35. Apple has 32,479.0 revenue, 4834.0 profile. Not only does MS kill them in revenue but has a far better revenue to profit ratio then Apple.



    Whats really unsucessful is when someone can't handle a debate and knows he is loss that he resorts to the troll card. You don't have to debate me you can stop at anytime.

    Yet again selectly I already said that Apple has the lead in ipods. And Apple did have a weak 2009 Q1. Who said anything about 2008. Not sure why you are laughing you look like the idiot not me.

    very very few things osx has over windows. and yea a mac isnt for me because im actually smart with my money and im not like the rest of society, i dont go around buying things that the tv tells me to buy. i work in retail and 90% of all customers are idiots. just because you see an ad on tv doesn't mean its a good product. when people come in to buy a mac, i talk them out of it.

    This all reminds me of the Democrat vs Republican thing... when it comes down to it I hate both sides.



    Both sides cling to bad information and bs to 'convince' the other side they are wrong.



    Wow.

    Now you have really lost it.



    Most Windows users running x64 bit system do not even have virus software. Do you know why? And if you do decide to run an antivirus like NOD32 it runs in the backround with little resources.



    Same task less steps? What does that even mean and how can you even back up that statement.



    My system can boot faster then anything Apple has on the market. I have a faster cpu, gpu, more ram then anything apple has to offer. I can perform a full boot in 25 secs.



    HP and Dell have systems with the same battery usage as Apple if not better.

    Well that says it all. Now we know exactly what you are about, and where you work.

    It is pretty funny when you go back and read it all. Just goes to show you can find anything on the internet to support your slant on the story.

    Windows for sure and probably OS X as well try to get a desktop on the screen before the boot is complete so it is a little hard to say when full boot actually occurs.

    read the link for q1 2009 before you make another comment.



    again I posted a link for Q1 2009 and Q2 2009 to show a trend and because you never mentioned the year, i did ask the question, are you talking about 2009, so i posted Q1 2008.



    Anyway as you said I must believe you, since YOU said Apple had a weak Q1 2009, without any links to show the facts. Btw: you could have posted a link, since the results are open to public.

    Don't care because I don't need much more than I have on a Mac. We have plenty of Windows machines and most of our clients are exclusively Windows. But honestly the only thing I ever need a PC for is to create MS Access files for 1 client. Although our accounting dept. is all Windows and our IT is 90% Linux. So they are all useful, but for the best development environment for Web, Video and Print publishing - Mac has no equal.

    That fine but most fo the world isn't in the print pubishing business. I am not in that business so I really don't have an opinion on what works best.
